Unemployed son complains
he is overworked at home
DEAR ABBY: I am an
unemployed (and looking)
24-year-old male who is
the oldest of four. My three
sisters are a 20-year-old
who has a part-time job
and goes to college, a
14-year-old and a 12-year-
old. We all live at home
with our physician parents.
Our longtime cleaning
lady recently quit, and my
parents seemingly have no
interest in hiring a replace
ment. My sisters and my
father don't help with the
chores because they are
seen as either too young or
too busy. At most, they will
unload groceries or assist in
cooking a meal. My moth
er encourages this and does
a fair amount of the work
herself, but she has a job,
so I'm frequently told to
handle the dishes, cooking,
pickups and drop-offs for
after-school activities, gar
bage and recycling, grocer
ies, miscellaneous errands
(usually picking up things
at the pharmacy) and occa
sional child care.
I get no sympathy or
help. My sisters don’t even
bother to rinse their plates
properly. They just leave
them piled in the sink for
someone else, and my
mother recently yelled at
me for "giving her attitude"
when I hadn't said a word.
This situation is making
it harder for me to get a job
because I'm tired all the
time, and my parents don't
listen to a word I say. I'm
not unaware of the fact that
as the oldest, more is
expected of me, but I think
this is well past the point of
what's expected. What
should I do? —
OVERWORKED IN NEW
YORK
DEAR OVER
WORKED: Start reviewing
your options. The first
thing you need to do is
understand why you are
unemployed. If there are no
openings in your field, start
considering other kinds of
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
jobs you may be suited for.
If you want to be some
thing more than an unpaid
domestic worker, you may
have to figure out what it
will take for you to live on
your own — perhaps with
a roommate or two. Even if
you don't find the ideal job,
employment will solve
your problem because you
will be too busy working to
do the things you're being
required to do now.

DEAR ABBY: I am get
ting married soon, and I'm
thrilled to have found love.
I have ex-co-workers I
want to be there. I also
have longtime friends who
still work with me. The
problem is they gossip at
work all the time. I know if
they attend my wedding,
there will be trouble in my
work life and friendships.
How can I tell them not
to gossip at work about
who was at my wedding or
who I excluded? How can I
tell them this is my day and
I should be able to have the
pleasure of being surround
ed by friends and loved
ones without worrying
about attendees being
mean? Please help. —
TIRED OF GOSSIP
DEAR TIRED: You are
focusing on the wrong
thing. Concentrate on
enjoying your special day.
You can't control what
other people will or will
not do. If you are asked
after the wedding why
someone was absent,
respond that budgetary lim
itations prevented you from
including everyone you
would have liked to invite.
If you do, it will appear to
be less of a popularity con
test.
